I curse the river of rime that flows through my veins, freezing my thoughts and numbing my senses. Its icy grip tightens around my heart, suffocating the warmth and love within. It turns words to stone and dreams to dust, leaving only shards of broken promises in its wake. Every step I take on its treacherous path is a struggle, as the weight of its frosty waters bears down on me, threatening to engulf me whole. The tendrils of its frigid touch reach deep into my soul, severing connections and burning bridges. In this realm of eternal winter, hope fades like sunlight in the twilight.

Paganism, in some cases referred to as Wicca, can mean many things to many people. My personal interpretation is that it's an earth-based religion, centered around seasonal changes and profound respect for all of nature's creatures. There is the Wiccan creed, "An ye harm none, do as thou wilt", and the Threefold Law which states "Any good deed returns itself thrice, as does any bad deed". In my opinion, this allows for a good deal of personal freedom in how you decide to celebrate your spirituality, so long as you don't try to impose it on others, or try to influence anyone in any way. At the risk of sounding like a New Age Refugee, everyone has their own path.

Wicca and Paganism in general are huge topics. If you care to learn more, you can find many books out there; I personally recommend Seven Stars Bookstore for a great selection. What follows are some helpful places and resources for those so inclined.

In this realm of eternal winter, hope fades like sunlight in the twilight. A shroud of darkness descends, swallowing joy and laughter, leaving only a void of loneliness and despair. The once vibrant colors of life are muted, replaced by a monochrome landscape of sorrow and regret.

But, even in the face of this relentless curse, a flicker of defiance remains. A tiny ember of defiance that refuses to be extinguished by the merciless frost. It whispers of warmth and light, of a way to break free from this icy prison. And so, I search for cracks in the frozen facade, for chinks in the armor of rime. I seek out the tiniest rays of sun that manage to penetrate this barren wasteland, clinging to them with a desperate determination. I gather them close, nurturing their warmth, and allowing them to slowly thaw the icy chains that bind me. With each passing day, the curse weakens, losing its grip on my spirit. I reclaim fragments of myself that were lost in the depths of the frost, piecing them together to form a stronger, more resilient whole. The river of rime still flows within me, but it no longer defines me. I curse the river of rime, for it has shown me the depths of darkness and despair. But I also thank it, for it has taught me the power of resilience and the importance of seeking salvation in the smallest of places. And as I emerge from this frozen cocoon, I am reborn, ready to face the world with a renewed sense of purpose and a fire in my heart that cannot be extinguished..
